Non-Executive Director — Media Investment and Rights Economics

The problem this seat exists to solve

This director will bring investment discipline to media holdings where rights, distribution and audience relationships determine commercial value. The role requires scrutiny of the cash-generating rights actually owned and the obligations attached to them.

Board responsibilities

Challenge acquisitions, production commitments and capital allocation. Examine how licensing terms, duration and usage restrictions affect the investment case. Ask whether attractive audience or activity measures translate into collectible revenue and sustainable cash after the cost of maintaining or renewing the proposition.

Rights and routes to market

Review dependence on key distribution relationships and the practical alternatives if a contract changes. Distinguish ownership from limited access and assess the effect of renewal uncertainty. Material specialist questions should receive competent advice, with the implications explained clearly to the board.

Qualified candidates

Candidates should have senior media investment, corporate development or board experience with strong financial judgement. They need to assess creative-business uncertainty without substituting personal preference for commercial evidence. Experience with a rights transaction, distribution change or investment that underperformed is especially relevant.

Capital choices under uncertainty

Require investment papers to show the cost of commitments before revenues arrive and the consequences of a weaker outcome. Compare new acquisitions with developing existing assets or retaining flexibility. Where a valuation assumes future exploitation, ask what capability and investment are still required to achieve it.

Contribution at the board table

The director should help establish a coherent investment thesis and meaningful portfolio review. Applicants should discuss an opportunity whose headline metrics were strong but whose contractual or cash economics made it unattractive.

This is a non-executive investment-governance seat, not an editorial or deal-introduction role. Management retains commercial execution. The director must disclose relevant interests and help the board distinguish a promising asset from a supportable investment at the proposed price, financing and risk allocation.

Terms

Where the board sits: Zurich, Switzerland
Applications close: 10 December 2026
Appointment: Board appointment
Compensation: CHF 80,000–140,000 per year (indicative annual board fee)
Time commitment in this market: Typically 6–10 board meetings a year plus committees and a strategy retreat; SMI boards carry a heavier load than the headline count suggests.

Before you apply — Switzerland

No nationality test applies to a director. The company must be capable of being represented by someone domiciled in Switzerland, which an officer can satisfy — it does not have to be you or any other director.

Residency test: At least one person domiciled in Switzerland must have signing authority for the company (CO Art. 718(4)).
Nationality test: None.
Work authorisation: A non-executive director attending board meetings does not require a residence permit. Executive roles do, and non-EU/EFTA nationals face a quota system.
Tenure limit once appointed: No statutory cap. The Swiss Code of Best Practice asks boards to consider tenure in assessing independence and to disclose their reasoning.

How this works

Every seat here is applied for by a certified director.

That is the whole difference. A sponsor reading applications from this Exchange knows the pool has been tested — which is why the briefs are real and why an application gets read. Five steps, and the first three are free.

1
Register — free
Read every brief, every regime map and both tools. Nothing is hidden behind the paywall and nothing ever has been. You can apply straight away — one application a fortnight.
2
Sit the assessment — free, about 30 minutes
15 judgement questions on statutory duty, your functional depth and cross-border practice. Sitting it costs nothing and you see your band and a gap report either way — so you learn something about your own standing whether or not you go further.
3
Pass, and you are certified — free, for 12 months
There is no fee to certify. A certified member applies to board, interim and advisory seats, one application a week. That alone is more than most directors act on in a quarter.
4
Then, if you want the rate — Foresight InfinityUS$250 a month
Your application is collated, verified against your profile and carried to the sponsor every week instead of waiting out the seat’s priority period — and we search for you rather than waiting for you to look. Foresight Infinity Plus, US$500 a month, is carried first, the moment it is matched, with a document written for that seat and your score attached.
Monthly only — there is no annual term on either. One payment a month; nothing renews on its own.
5
Your certificate and your membership are not the same thing
The certificate runs 12 months. A membership renews every month. If you stop paying you do not go back to the beginning — you keep the certificate you earned and return to one application a week until it expires.
